Today's Inspiration

Monday, April 19, 2010

This is probably one of the most random posts I have -- and there's been a lot, so this must be something ;) Anyway, it's crazy blogging in the morning. I usually don't, since there's no time during the day, but today is an exception because.. well, it's my day off! I feel incredibly lucky (and excited!) since it's Monday and all and I never really get three day weekends. Even when I'm actually stuck with a lot of errands to try to accomplish today, I surprisingly kind of like it. It's a lot better than laying in bed all day -- which I did yesterday, go figure. Later on today though, after all the errands, I plan to go to a cafe by myself, drink coffee and tea, read a book, and maybe even get some writing done. Now don't get me wrong, I looovee being around people; friends, family.. It's just that sometimes, it's also nice to treat yourself and have some alone time outside. This plan, at least to me, sounds like a dream just about now. Here's me wishing you either have a productive or relaxing day -- or hopefully maybe even both!

When I 'previewed' this before publishing, I realized how truly random and odd this post is. Ahh.. please bear with me, haha. Again though, have a great Monday -- with lots of 'you' time or reading time, hopefully? Oh, and speaking of, I'm curious, what book are you devouring these days? I'm reading City of Bones by Cassandra Clare right now, about 1/4 through it. Honestly.. I still don't know what I think of it. Have you ever read this? What'd you think of it..?

Hi Jillian! I also enjoy my alone time. It's the only time I can truly think. I also enjoy having company too so I'm torn,lol. And all those pictures of coffee and tea is making me want a cup. The power of pictures! lol! Enjoy your day off:)

@Emily: Oh dear. Laundry + Homework?? Those are probably one of the worst combinations for me! Did you get to go out and get some coffee at the end of the day though?

@Lesa: Next time someone tells me I'm being lame for wanting to spend time alone outside, I will reply to them with what you said, in a very calm manner, "I savor solitude -- it is a precious commodity." I will! It will sum up everything, and it will stop them from talking&bothering me. LOL.

@E: Adventurous indeed since I had coffee and an hour later had iced tea ;) haha!And thank you, hope you had a great day and a great weekend ahead!

@Adriana: FYI, I am in love with your new background! :) I actually stopped reading City of Bones already, and decided to go to another book. Maybe I'll pick it up again some other time when I'm ready for it.. Can't wait to hear what you think about it though! Maybe that will be my deciding factor! LOL!

@Paper Cut Reviewer: Yes, alone time outside gives me the time to think peacefully. Like Lesa said, solitude is such a serene and precious thing. But like you, I would also go crazy if I was always alone and never had company! Well, who says we can't have both?? ;) And thank you hope you had a great day as well!

@Mrs. Vanquish: Thank you! Haha. I am also a huge coffee/tea addict. Sometimes, when I'm at a cafe I really need to figure out what I'm more in the mood for before I actually pick, haha. And glad to hear you liked The City of Bones. Maybe I'll try it out again soon, but for now, I passed and picked another read. I'm definitely going to review it though, as soon as I finish it!

Oh hello. I'm Jillian and this is my own little space on the interwebs.

Random Ramblings is a blog I started in 2010. It centers around my life as an avid reader, a writer, a lover of words. Here I post reviews, raves, rants, discussions, and talk about pretty much anything surrounding the world of literature - or really just about anything that comes to mind. Generally though, I talk about random things in life that interest me and inspire me.
